Hear about rafting the Grand Canyon for seven days as the Amateur Traveler talks about this bucket list trip sponsored by Western River Expeditions.

In this solo (but not really solo) episode of Amateur Traveler, host Chris Christensen recounts a seven-day rafting adventure down the Grand Canyon with Western River Expeditions — a journey filled with whitewater rapids, red rock cliffs, side canyon hikes, waterfalls, fossils, ancient ruins, and meaningful encounters with fellow travelers.

• Motorized J-rig rafts cover 188 miles of the Colorado River in 7 days


• Overnights at iconic river camps: Ledges, Dinosaur, Carbon, Hotauta, Football Field, and Lower 185 Mile


• Major rapids including Hermit, Crystal, Granite, Sockdolager, Lava Falls, and more


• Cultural stops: Nankoweap granaries, ancestral Puebloan ruins, sacred Hopi salt mines


• Geology & scenery: Marble Canyon, Vishnu schist, Zoroaster granite, lava flows, and Redwall Cavern


• Side hikes to Havasu Canyon, Elves Chasm, Stone Creek Falls, and Deer Creek


• Memorable stargazing, Dutch oven desserts, and even a toga night
